A spell of heavy and torrential rain is likely to cause disruption on the roads this evening in Herefordshire.
The rain is currently intensifying and spreading from the south. The odd rumble of thunder isn’t ruled out as the system tracks north.
The Met Office has issued a weather warning for Herefordshire and other parts of Wales and South West England.
The Met Office weather warning says:
“Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to break out this afternoon and evening, perhaps merging to give longer spells of rain in places, more especially later this afternoon and this evening. Torrential downpours are expected at times with 15-30 mm rain falling in an hour or so in some spots and 30-40 mm perhaps building up over 2 or 3 hours in a few places. These showers will then fade during the course of this evening, but only slowly in some areas, especially over south Wales, the West Country and south Midlands.”
